A Second Doubly Secure Counterfeit Detector Bill

Continental Currency Counterfeit Detector January 14, 1779 $40
PMG About Uncirculated 55.
A second note on exactly the same theme as the previous lot, in
this instance a second precaution was taken by drawing a line
through where the serial number should appear and writing the
words, "Proof Bill," in the signature block. In a more active
Colonial market, these would be highly sought and far more
expensive. In today's market, both this and its companion in the
previous lot will barely reach into four figures. This catalogers'
suggesting purchase for future appreciation is generally the kiss
of death, but we really like this and the note above.
